No you weren't. What's embarrassing is to concoct nonsense like this and then throw a hissy fit if reality doesn't
There was a definite belief( rightly or wrongly) that we were going to evolve and Rangnick was going to be instrumental behind the scenes in overseeing things like he did at Salzburg and Leipzig, at least at first( his role was never really well defined in reality).
By March it became obvious Rangnick was not wanted and it was only a matter of time before he was out the gap. Even after that we were peddled more lies when there was a statement saying he would be kept on before the whole Austria job came up and he eventually went.
The thought of Ferguson having more say at a board level as he gets older seems odd to me, you'd expect it to be the other way around (this doesn't mean I think all 80 years olds are senile). His decisions at board level post manager have all been spectacularly bad too. It is also well reported by tier 1 journos that he was more in the Pochettino as manager camp than Ten Hag, Pochettino is currently out of a job if Ten Hag has a bad start things could get hairy. Will Arnold listen if Fergie advises him to move for Pochettino?
Has he already convinced Ronaldo to stay? Who knows but personally I think Ten Hag is better off without Ronaldo and I do believe Fergie wishes for Ronaldo to stay and it has been reported he did speak with Ronaldo the other day.
I'm not sure what Robson adds. I don't want to come across harsh because he was a legend as a player and seems a great bloke but the fact Arnold called on him is baffling.
Also when I said "embarassing' I was clearly joking. Lighten up lad.
